I'm BACK... and Bringing a Twist! (What's Up? with DJ) Dusting off the mic and READY to roll with a brand new season of What's Up? with DJ! The past couple of years threw me some curveballs (life, right?!), but I'm back stronger and with a fresh perspective. This experience taught me so much about resilience, gratitude, and the power of human connection, and I'm bringing that newfound energy to the podcast!
